Privacy policy

Introduction

In this privacy policy, Plöckl Media Group GmbH describes how it handles data acquired from users who access our website under https://www.be-pmg.de or provide us with personal data by another method. 

Basis for data collection 

We must process your personal data (i.e., any data which allows you to be identified using acceptable means; “personal data”) in order to meet our contractual obligations to you and provide you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests and financial regulatory obligations which we have no alternative but to follow.

 

By using this website, you agree to the collection, saving and use of your personal data for the establishment of personal contact, as described in this privacy policy.

 

Please read the privacy policy through carefully before making any decisions. 

Which data is collected?

We collect two types of data and information from users. 

 

The first category comprises non-identifying and non-identifiable user data supplied or collected through the use of the website (“non-personal data”). We do not know the identity of the user from whom non-personal data has been collected. The collected non-personal data comprises, among other things, aggregate usage and technical data transmitted from your device, including specific software and hardware information (e.g., the browser used on your device, the operating system used, language setting, time of access, etc.). We use this data to improve the functionality of our website. We can also collect data regarding your activity on the website (e.g., pages called, surfing behavior, clicks, actions, etc.).

 

The second category contains personal data, i.e., data that identifies an individual or could identify them by applying appropriate measures. Such data includes:


  • Device data: we collect the personalized data of your device. Such data includes geolocation data, IP address, unique ID’s (e.g., MAC address and UUID), as well as other data resulting from your activity on the website.
  • Personal data: contact data from the contact form with name, e-mail address, telephone and the actual message. If the customer only fills in the mandatory fields, only these fields will be saved. This data is merely saved to establish initial contact. The data record is deleted once contact has been established.

We acquire your personal data from a range of sources.


  • You provide us with this data voluntarily, for example by registering on our website.

We use data for the following purposes:

Cookies

We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our associated services, including when you visit our website or access our services. 


A “cookie” is a small unit of data which assigns a website to your device when you call it. Cookies are very useful and can be employed for various purposes. This includes for smooth site navigation, the possible automatic activation of specific functions, saving your settings and providing a quick and easy interaction between you and our services. Cookies are also used to display advertisements that are relevant and possibly interesting to you, and to compile statistics about your use of our services. 


The following types of cookies are used on the website:


a. “Session cookies” are only used temporarily during the browser session to make it possible to use the system normally. These cookies are deleted from your device once the browser is closed.

We use the “Google Analytics” tool to collect data about your use of the website. Google Analytics records, for example, how often the website is called, which pages are called during a visit, etc. We use the Google Analytics data to improve our website and services. Google Analytics records the assigned IP address and not your name or other identifiable data on the day you visit the website. We do not combine the Google Analytics data with your personal data.

It detects visits to our website from companies based on their IP addresses and shows us publicly available information, such as company names or addresses. Leadinfo also sets first-party cookies for analyzing user behavior on our website and processes domains from form entries (e.g., “leadinfo.com”) to correlate IP addresses with companies and improve services. You can find further information under www.leadinfo.com. You can opt out of this by visiting: www.leadinfo.com/en/opt-out. If you choose to opt out, your data will no longer be collected by Leadinfo

Third-party data collection

This policy only deals with the use and publishing of data we collect from you. Other provisions may apply if you publish data on other websites or disclose third-party content on the internet. Therefore, always read through the general terms and conditions and privacy policy carefully when disclosing data. 



This privacy policy does not refer to business practices of companies not under our ownership or not under our control, nor to persons other than our staff and employees including third persons to whom we disclose this data as described in this privacy policy.

How do we protect your data?

We take great care to implement the security measures on the website and protect your data. We use the procedures and guidelines commonly used in the industry to ensure the protection of collected and saved data and thus prevent the unauthorized use of such data. We also require third parties to observe safety requirements similar to those included in this privacy policy. Despite taking the appropriate steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who may have gained unauthorized access to our website or used it in a fraudulent manner and we will not provide an express nor an implicit guarantee that we can prevent such access.

Transmission of data outside the European economic area

If this is the case, we will transmit your data only to those countries authorized by the European Commission with an appropriate level of data protection or ensure an appropriate level of data protection using a legal agreement.

Advertising

When you access our website, we may activate advertisements with the aid of advertising technology from external providers. This technology uses your user data from the services (e.g., by positioning third-party provider cookies in your web browser) to activate the advertisements. 

 

You can cancel numerous advertisement networks from third parties, also those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).

We respect your right to privacy. These marketing materials will therefore always provide you with the option of canceling further mailings. Canceling them will cause your e-mail address or telephone number to be removed from our marketing mailing list. 

 

Please note that after canceling the receipt of our marketing e-mails, we will continue to send you e-mails with important information which do not contain a cancellation option. These include maintenance notifications or administrative messages.

Corporate mergers and acquisitions

We may pass on data in the event of a company merger or acquisition (e.g., in the event of the sale of fundamental parts of the company, a merger or the sale of assets). If one of the above should happen, the purchasing body or the corresponding company will assume the rights and obligations described in this privacy policy.

Minors

The protection of children’s data is of extreme importance, particularly in the online sector. The website is neither designed for children nor directed at them. The use of our services by minors is only permitted with the prior consent or authorization of a parent or legal guardian. We do not deliberately collect the personal data of minors.
